‘At some point, it just became hard not to talk to family. And for me, it became hard to be disconnected to the outside world,’ Chris said.
‘I don’t think I was so ready [or] realized what that felt like when you have cameras on you 24/7, except for when you’re going to use the bidet. That’s really it. I didn’t realize how much I missed my family and friends and my loved ones and girlfriend.’
Adding: ‘I’m so grateful for the time that I had there, and I made such great friendships.’
